Sir,

With all due respect I beg to be informed from you the best and easiest method of emigration to the Cape of Good Hope, having on my own account nothing but Personal Services to render I wish to go the most approved method you can dictate (but if I must find a friend) I beg your Lordship will state how I had best proceed. Your answer will oblige a Royal Subject who is distresst for want of employ and will ever remain your obliged and very hbl serv't
